Joseph buys his first car, a 1951 Wagon

Joseph might look pretty young to own his first vehicle, but after a trip to Moab with his dad Pete, who runs the OWF, to attend the 2012 Willys Overland Rally Joseph caught a bad case of the Willys sickness. As his father knows to well, there is no cure for this dreaded disease.  With Joseph’s fate sealed, he decided to buy a wagon with his own money that he could rebuild himself (with some help from dad).

The wagon needs plenty of work, so they located a good donor frame that’s already been modified and strengthened, saving them lots of time and work.  They have collected some ’76 Wagoneer axles, XJ rear and YJ front springs to fit the already modified frame.  They also have located a variety of additional parts to help round out Joseph’s project.

You can follow Joseph’s build here: http://oldwillysforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3549

Good luck Joseph!  I’m sure you’ll learn a lot 🙂

Surrey Friction Jeep on eBay

Here’s a neat friction Surrey Jeep.

“Vintage Pink Surrey Willies Overland Jeep CJ Wrangler Scale Metal Friction Model!
Please view the images for condition.

Here we have an awesome tin friction car modeled after some old Jeep, not sure of the exact model. Friction motor was locking up at first but appears fine now and seems to work alright. Looks like there may have been a top over the passenger compartment at one time as there are six of the typical tin holes for extra parts to fit into on the rear of the jeep and the windshield frame. Overall great condition, might need some cleaning in the tight areas and does show some minimal wear. No maker mark or country of origin stamp on this one. Totally excellent jeep!!”

This image was drawn by Robert W. Huzzard.  His suggestion won a prize about how a1/4 ton might be converted into an ambulance. The drawing is part of a magazine article I will be posting tomorrow night.
